"seen save" is actually redundant.  "seen finish" stops processing as
if you'd said "save", which is to say that exim considers dlivery to
be complete.  "finish" by itself will terminate the filter, but exim
will still process the delivery normally.  See filter.txt, section 9
"Significant deliveries" for full details, but it basically comes down to:

- The commands "deliver", "save", and "pipe" are significant deliveries
unless preceded by "unseen".

- All other commands are not significant deliveries unless preceded by
"seen".

- Default delivery will be performed unless a significant delivery has been
performed by the filter.
